Re: Houston-area job: Physics Teacher (fwd)

About change.
One of the earliest statements is that of the Greek Heraclitus who lived
about 500 B.C.
Under the topic of "Universal Flux"  he wrote: "Everything flows and
nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.   You can not
step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing
on.  Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the
parched becomes moist.   It is in changing that things find repose. "
A good reference on Heraclitus is the book   Heraclitus by Philip
Wheelright  Princeton University Press 1959.
Best regards,
Leonard Jossem
